SCSI, in general, on OS X is s*l*o*w. Apple *really* wants you to go IDE,
firewire, and SATA.
I have noticed. I have a scsi raid array left over from my 7300 gear
and I tried to use it the other day for back ups from my QS on X and
though the card a 2940 U2B (I'm sure?) is 68 pin and all, it was
rather slow...
I should clarify a bit, by prefacing it with "Even with journaling disabled,".
began to wonder whether I should boot into 9 to do it?
Depends on the type of backup. If it's just standard visible files,
with names 31 characters or less, and you don't care about file
owners or permissions - go for it. OS 9 will be faster.
I'm still using Retrospect Express in OS 9 to back up all my "user
data", that I keep on other HDs.
